Health Ministry: No cancer drugs shortage
Doctor sorry for ‘distress' caused by comments on cancer drugs
The apology came hours after the ministry and the NWRHA hit back at comments made by Dr Asante Le Blanc before a Joint Select Committee (JSC) of the Parliament on Social Services and Public Administration on Wednesday.
Le Blanc told the JSC there was always a shortage of breast and prostate cancer drugs in the public healthcare system. She also claimed while the newer drugs have been approved, they are not available in the public health system and antiquated versions were given to patients.
